About This Guitar

When GWAR's BälSäc the Jaws 'o Death needs a guitar capable of defeating all that is uptight, he reaches for the BälSäc E-1. This signature model combines aggressive aesthetics with brutal tonal power, designed specifically for the grinding rhythms and sonic assault that define GWAR's legendary performances.

At the heart of this beast are Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers – studio-quality active pickups that deliver crushing high-output tone with zero noise. The Alnico neck pickup provides smooth, powerful leads and clean tones, while the Ceramic bridge pickup unleashes aggressive, tight distortion perfect for palm-muted chugging and searing solos. Each pickup offers two distinct voices: modern active aggression and classic passive warmth, accessible via the voicing switch.

The Floyd Rose 1500 locking tremolo provides rock-solid tuning stability even during the most extreme dive bombs and vibrato techniques. Combined with Schecter locking tuners and a locking nut, this guitar stays perfectly in tune through the chaos of live performance.

Built with a solid mahogany body for thick, warm tone and a carbon rod-reinforced 3-piece maple neck with Ultra Thin C profile, the BälSäc E-1 is as playable as it is powerful. The ebony fretboard features 24 jumbo frets for extended range and the signature BälSäc jaw inlay at the 3rd fret – a unique detail that sets this guitar apart.

Why Buy from Angkor Music?

Every BälSäc E-1 includes our free professional setup ($155 value), including Floyd Rose balancing, action optimization, and intonation calibration. With 11+ years serving Melbourne musicians, we provide expert advice on Floyd Rose maintenance, pickup voicing, and getting the most from your signature guitar. Visit our Altona store to experience this extreme machine in person.
